Cambia, Girls' Version

I wanted to have a sample of the girls' version of Cambia in one of the smaller sizes, since the body proportions of pre-adolescent girls are so different from those of adult women (by the way, I compared the CYCA guidelines for Child and Woman sizes to ensure that the two Cambia sizes which can be made for both girls and women, sizes Girls' 10-12/Women's XS and Girls' 14-16/Women's S, will work for both). 

In addition, after knitting the original women's size sample, I decided to change the cable stitch pattern slightly for the pattern, so I wanted to make absolutely sure that it still looked good, without too much space between the cables (for an explanation of why I made the change, see here).  For this sample, size 2-4, I used Dream in Color's "Visual Purple," and I followed the pattern directions as written.  Keep in mind that this is the smallest size, and that cables will look proportionally smaller in the larger sizes.

I've added a couple of photos of the girls' version to the pattern pdf, so I will email the updated pattern to everyone who has already purchased it.  In addition, I made a slight change to the directions, simplifying them.  For suggestions for yarn substitutions, see here.
